He scored four goals and provided two assists across 39 appearances in all competitions last term.

Thomas is the eighth summer signing for McLeish, who replaced Stephen Robinson in March.

"I'm really excited for this new opportunity and I can't wait to get going," he told club media.

"After the first conversation I had with the gaffer, I remember getting off the phone and telling my agent to get it done and as quickly as that it was done.

"He told me how he likes to play and how he sees the game. He's so ambitious and that's what I am in my career. We're definitely on the same wavelength and I think it's going to be a really good relationship.

"I always watch Scottish football. It's something I've always wanted to experience and I'm lucky enough now to be able to go out and experience it. Hopefully I can grab this opportunity with both hands."
